Information on all network disks

In general you need to know the server name and share name to connect to a network disk.

Most network disks are available directly from within the Radboud University network. Off campus use a VPN tunnel to connect to a network disk.

A number of network disks or shares are available for all Science users:

The U-disk: your science home directory - the server and share name can be found on dhz.science.ru.nl after 'Home disk at'. The server name is one of 'home1.science.ru.nl' or 'home2.science.ru.nl'. The share name is always the same as your science login name.

For example via the search function: place the cursor in the upper right corner whereupon a vertical toolbar appears. Click on the option "Search" and search for "explorer"

In the explorer select "My computer" (in the left vertical menubar).

Windows 7

Right click on 'Start'

Choose 'Windows Explorer'.

Select 'My Computer'

Windows XP

Right click on 'Start'

Choose 'Windows Explorer'.

Select 'Tools'

Choose "Map network drive...".

Choose a free 'Drive' letter (e.g. the one suggested by Windows).

Enter as 'Folder:' a path name of the form \\servername\sharename

In case your PC or laptop is not maintained by C&CZ (e.g. by yourself or by the ISC) and your login name on it is not equal to your Science login name, select 'Connect using a different user name' and supply your Science login name. When the login names are the same, the right name will automatically be used, you will only be prompted for the Science password.

Click 'Finish'.

For example the S-Disk with a lot of standard software can be mapped as '\\software-srv.science.ru.nl\software'.

FolderSync Lite. This makes it possible to synchronize a network disk to and/or from the local SD card. Buy the non-light version if you do not want to see annoying ads if you open this app once in a while.

SyncMe Wireless. This too makes it possible to synchronize a network disk to and/or from the local SD card.

SolidExplorer. The built-in storage manager allows you to make connections to all sorts of network disks.

The naming of the shares is the same as in Windows, see the diskspace page.
